The Most and Least "Religious" of the United States



I just heard about this 2012 survey and thought I should share it with you.  Gallup released a list of the most (top three: Mississippi, Utah, and Alabama) and least religious  (48-50: Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont) of the United States of America.

Gallup describes 40% of the American populace as “very religious” and 32% as not religious at all.  The most religious states are heavily clustered in the South, while the least religious states tend to be in New England or the West.

The most religious state in the United States is Mississippi, where a total of 58% are described as “very religious.”  I find this to be disturbing because it means that four people out of ten describe themselves as “not religious.”  We are rapidly becoming the “remnant.”

What Americans Believe

"America's religion is broad but not deep.  It's not that Americans don't believe anything.  They believe everything." George Gallop Jr (1930-2011)

As relativism becomes more and more the prevailing world philosophy, religion becomes so "personal" that there are multitudes of individual religions with each person picking and choosing bits and pieces from here and there and declaring themselves to be "spiritual."  If there is no absolute knowable truth, as the relativists insist,  this is the ultimate result.
